~Anxiety~Christian Akridge AKA Christian Leave (fanfict)

Chapter 14

**Christmas Eve**
My mom wakes me up early in the morning to get the house ready for my family. The day wasn't very exciting, we just had some family over, opened gifts, and talked as a family.

The last people left at 11 and me and my brothers went to bed. As a tradition, we all sleep on Ben's floor in his room Christmas Eve night. We all set up sleeping bags and start watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but I fell asleep in the middle of the movie.
•••••
I was shaken away by a nightmare in the middle of the night.
A murderer broke into my house and killed my whole family and they were about to kill me too but I woke up. I gasp for breath, it feels like I have never learned how to breath. I reach over to wake Ryan up but I can find him. I stand up to turn on the lights and neither Ben nor Ryan are in their sleeping bag. I look at the time, 5:47 am.
They probably went downstairs to look in their stockings or something. I walk out into the hallway and look both ways cautiously before going down the stares. 
I reluctantly walk into the kitchen and flick on the light. I look at the table and there's a note:
Merry Christmas Kayla
I put the note down and walk into the family room where our tree is and slowly flick on the light.
There sitting in front of my tree was Christian Akridge. He has a plain white long sleeve shirt and red flannel pants and a Santa hat. I let out a breath of relief and grab my chest. "gosh you scared me to death," I say. he stands up "Merry Christmas," he gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Merry Christmas,"
My two brothers walk into the room "your welcome Kayla, we organized the whole thing,"
"What whole thing?" I laugh.
"You weren't wondering how Christian got into the house?" Ryan teases. "Oh I didn't really think of that" I shrug. "Okay well I am going back to bed," Ben dismisses himself and Ryan follows.
"I'm suddenly not tired anymore," I say while sitting down on the couch pulling Christian behind me.
I gaze out the window and notice a clean white blanket of snow lays on the ground outside. "It snowed!?"
"Yeah it's been snowing all night," Christian says. He rests his head on my shoulder and we both look out the window as snow falls. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him. "Do you want coffee?" I have a craving for coffee at the moment. "Sure," he moans. I start to get up, but he pulls be back onto the couch. "Wait a few minutes," he says. I sit back down and rest my legs on top of his. He puts his head down on my chest and hugs me around the waist. I don't even notice that I fell asleep until he woke me up an hour later. "how 'bout that coffee?"
"I'll go make some" I get off the couch and walk into the kitchen and he stays on the couch. I make two mugs and bring him one. I turn on the TV and we watch the sponge bob Christmas special while sipping coffee.
By the time it's over my family comes down and we are ready to start opening gifts.
I did get Christian a gift but it's in my room. Christian sits with my family just likes he's already part of it.
My parents got me a Polaroid camera, clothes, and gift cards.  Ryan and Ben both pitched in to get me Marc Jacobs perfume. I find a small box that says Kayla on it in sloppy big letters.

I carefully unwrap the paper and look up at Christian who is watching me open it. Its obviously from him.  I keep opening it and reveal a small box that says Tiffany & Co.  He didn't!  I cup my left hand over my mouth in shock, not knowing what to do.  "Open it," he laughs.  I carefully open the small blue box and there is a gorgeous necklace in it.  Its a silver necklace with a silver arrow pendent.  "Oh my gosh, Christian," I gasp, "Its beautiful, it must have been so much money, you didn't have to spend that much on me"

"Eh its fine, you deserve it," he winks.  I remember that the rest of my family was also in the room.  "Oh, um, I got you something too, its upstairs, lemme go get it,"  I jump up and trot up the stairs.  When I see his gift sitting on my desk I realize I never wrapped it.  Shit.  Thankfully my mom keeps some wrapping paper in her closet so I go get some and quickly wrap the gift.  

I got him an Obey snap back, a hoodie from Vans, and a $30 visa gift card.  I wrap it all up and put it a bag because some of it was hard to wrap.  I go back downstairs and everyone is still sitting there waiting for me.  "here you go," I chirp handing him the bag.  His eyes light up as he unwraps each gift from the bag.  "Kayla, you didn't have to get me that much,"

"Eh, its fine, you deserve it," I repeat what he said to me and he laughs.  "Do you all want pancakes?" my mom asks.  "Sure!" I quickly cheer and my whole family looks at me as if they would never have expected me to be so excited to eat.  "Okay, coming right up!" my mom says walking to the kitchen. My brother and my dad all follow her but Christian and I stay behind.  "Christian," I say softly, "thank you so much for that necklace, its amazing,"

"It was no problem," he smirks.  His smile is bright enough to light up the darkest room.  "Thank you for the stuff you got me, that was awesome,"

"No problem," 

We go upstairs to my room and lay down on my bed together.  I burry my head into his neck and our legs tangle together.  I feel his fingers move slowly through my hair.  "You know we are going out to Long Island to my cousins house later on, right?" I ask, assuming my brothers told him.  "Yeah, I know," he lets out a breath.  Your mom invited me," 

"Are you coming?" I lift my head up and look into his eyes.  "of course," he smirks, lifting his head up and giving me a  peck on the lips.  

"Pancakes!!" my mom yells from the kitchen.  I immediately hop off Christian and pull him down the stairs. I eat the entire plate of Pancakes my mom made me.  Of course my parents were looking at me the entire time.  When we are done, Christian goes back to his aunts house to get ready and I get dressed and ready also.  

I wear a pair of white jeans and a light blue thick knitted sweater. I wear a tan jacket with a white scarf and a white beanie with short cream colored uggs.  I curl my hair in loose waves and do my makeup and I am ready to go.  My parents heat up the car and as soon as Christian comes over we leave.  The car ride isnt very long. Christian and I watch Four Christmases on my iPad.  Before we know it we are sitting in front of my cousins house in long island.
